14.

15. We envision a program that includes all areas of health careers: Opportunities to take college classes while in high school (concurrent enrollment, PSEO, etc.) A clear pathway from the K-12 and ABE/incumbent worker systems to 2- and 4-year colleges that build on high school coursework and allow for easy transfer from 2- to 4-year colleges
